"He came and asked me to write the film," he said. "I didn’t
want to at first. Then I listened to Yeezus. It was early summer last year and I was driving in my car. He’d given
me an advance copy and I thought, regardless of whether I’m right for this
project, I want to work with whoever made this. So f-ck it, I said yes. And
that’s how it happened. That was seven or eight months ago. We’ll see what
happens."

Unfortunately Ellis
stayed mum on any details or specific dates for the collaboration. He
explained:

"It’s in Kanye-land and that’s subject to a
whole other timeframe."

Fair enough. Yeezy is
notorious for doing things last minute and without a set schedule. Yeezus itself was basically the product
of a random lighting bolt of creativity.
